First Vietnamese – American Astronaut
Born in Saigon and raised in Paris, Trinh Huu Chau (later Eugene H. Trinh) moved to France with his family in 1952 when he was only two. 
In his teenage years, Dr. Trinh attended Lycee Michelet in Paris. There, he focused on maths and science, because like many teens at that time, he wanted to become a pilot. Dr. Trinh left Paris for New York to attend Columbia University in 1968. Upon finishing his Bachelor of Science degree in 1972, he pursued his Master degree in 1974, and Doctorate in 1977 from Yale University. 
He spent 20 years at California Institute of Technology as a physicist carrying out research primarily in the fields of Fluid Physics and Applied Acoustics. By 1999, he worked as a Senior Executive, and focused on various science projects for NASA. Over the years, he has worked on a dozen of space – based flight investigations and the Space Shuttle, and ultimately flew aboard the Shuttle Columbia in 1992. Dr. Eugene H. Trinh never expected that he would make history as the first Vietnamese – American physicist to fly aboard NASA Space Shuttle Columbia mission STS – 50 in 1992.

Ex 9: Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each question 
WHAT ARE THE ORIGIN OF THE HAMBURGER?
We will probably never know who first sold a beef inside a bun, but there are lots of contenders for having invented something similar. 
Genghis Khan and his army of Mongol horsemen used to snack on raw beef which they kept underneath their saddles. They also ground meat from lamb or mutton. This was fast food for busy warriors on horseback at that time. When the Mongols invaded Russia, the snack became known as “Steak Tartare”. In the 17th and 18th centuries trade between Germany and Russia gave rise to the “Tartare Steak”, while the “Hamburg steak” became popular with German sailors along the New York City harbour. 
It’s speculated that the first “Hamburger Steak” was served at Delmonico’s Restaurant in New York City in 1834, but not in a bun. In 1885, Charlie “Hamburger” Nagreen served flattened meatballs between two slices of bread. As late as 1904 Fletcher Davis of Athens, Texas, attracted much attention when he sold his hamburgers at the St. Louis World’s Fair. Davis’s claim to having originated the hamburger has been supported by both McDonalds and Dairy Queen. 
Brothers Frank and Charles Menches may also have made a major contribution to hamburger history: they sold ground pork sandwiches at the Erie Country Fair in New York, but one day in 1885, they were forced to use chopped beef because their butcher had run out of pork. They mixed in some coffee and brown sugar to beef up the taste and sold their “Hamburger Sandwiches.” The name “Hamburger” came from Hamburg, New York, the location of the fair.

2. Which of the following is stated in the passage? 
A. Tartar stake became popular in the 17th century. 	B. Minced beef appeared in the 15th century. 
C. Hamburger was first served in Germany. 	D. Sailors brought hamburger steak to New York. 
3. Whom was “hambuger steak” invented by, according to paragraph 3? 
A. Charlie “Hamburger” Nagreen 	B. Fletcher Davis 	C. McDonalds	D. Delmonico
4. What was the Menches’ contribution to hamburger history? 
A. They began to ground pork for sandwiches. 	B. They used another meat and added flavors. 
C. They began to use chopped pork. 	D. They changed the taste of pork.
